Our Soul's alignment with our Highest Path and Purpose can sometimes be blocked and/or restricted by choices we have made while in a physical incarnation. Oftentimes these choices were made lifetimes ago but the energetic effects are still being felt in our lives. The information that I received in my own Soul Realignment TM Soul Profile Reading resonated with me deeply, and my perspective immediately shifted. As I looked back over the events of my life, I could understand the how's and the why's of certain behaviors I exhibited in a broader context- from the perspective of an eternal being in a co-creative experience of being human. It was no longer an intellectual concept, the eternal nature of my essential self- it became an Inner Knowing, right down to my cellular structures. I began to feel more compassion towards myself and less judgemental about choices I made, or didn't make, and a growing appreciation for my life just as it is. I arrived deeper into the knowledge that I am indeed the creator or the writer of my life story, and so far it's a pretty good one. I anticipate the story to unfold in epic proportion! Yours can, too! Wow!

Within one month's time after my own Realignment, I experienced a strong inner prompting to enter the course myself to become a practitioner. This nearly drove my rational mind mad with doubts- why would I do such a thing, spend my last hard earned dollars on this course? What a leap of faith I was being asked to take. I looked over the edge and knew that I was being asked to jump, but I didn't see any net. I jumped anyway. The inner push was so strong, undeniable- I had to follow it into the unknown. My life has begun to change in the most beautiful ways, and I feel like this journey is just beginning...

How about you? There is so much we can do, be, have, experience. Your Higher Self is calling. Shall we become the Human Beings that our Precious Earth is asking us to become, to be of assistance in this Time of Planetary Transformation? Can we rise to the challenge of this Great Work? Yes. We have many helpers in Spirit who want to assist us, and we have an innate ability to tap into the Stream of Divine Love that is the substance we were created from. It is Infinite and always available. Double Wow!

Any healing of the Earth and Her Creatures must start within each individual human being. There is much Love and Support for you...Blessings,Rev. Ursula Carrie

WE ARE GOING, TO MAKE THIS ONE: 1:00pm – 5:00pm (pre-registration begins at 12:00pm);

6:00pm – 10:00pm (pre-registration begins at 5:00pm)

The EPA is holding 6 meetings around of the country on the subject of Hydraulic Fracking, the final 3 of which are being held in Binghamton, NY. That is significant.

>> What is Fracking, and why is it a danger to our environment?briefly this is, "Fracking is a commonly accepted term for hydro-fracturing, a process where water, sand and chemicals are injected into the earth at high pressure. The aim of hydro-fracturing is to fracture rock formations deep underground in the hopes of liberating natural gas that would be otherwise inaccessible, and to bring it to the surface.""

>> What's the Problem?

Fracking is a radical procedure when compared to traditional methods of natural gas extraction. Until recently, it had been considered only as a measure of last resort.>

Below are just some of the many important differences:

* Vast amounts of water are required.

* Fracking uses various chemical lubricants, many of which are toxic.

* The chemicals used in fracking are considered proprietary, and are therefore secret.

* The water used in fracking poses a major disposal problem.

* There have been over a thousand instances of groundwater contamination in areas near fracking sites.

* Fracking has never been subject to an independent assessment of its environmental impact.

* The full long-term environmental impact of fracking is unknown. As reports of water contamination near drilling sites proliferate throughout the country, there has been increasing pressure for Congress to reexamine the industry's EPA exemption and undertake an independent assessment of fracking's environmental impact.

The natural gas industry has been fighting Congressional action and has been doing everything they can to retain their exemption to the Clean Water Act. At the same time, they have been aggressively expanding their operations presumably to take advantage of the current lack of federal regulation."

I am a Rotary exchange student, living for one year in the south of Brazil. In being here in what is called a Third World country, my eyes have been opened to a problem of this country that will affect the entire world- air pollution. In speaking with my peers, more importantly my seniors, I have become aware of a very potent problem in the northern area of Brazil- the Amazon forests. The lush, tropical Amazons are world famous, and they are also a rich source of natural resources for American companies as well as those of Brazil. Portions of the forest the size of West Germany are being killed each year, and new ones are not being planted. That leaves the region of the north dry and almost without the hope of rain year 'round. Tropical rain forests are one of the earth's largest suppliers of oxygen. With the death of so many thousands of unreplaced trees, compiled with the known problem in the ozone layer, our air and consequently our lives are in danger for the future.

It is so important for the public (old and especially young, for they are the world's future) to be educated about the "smaller" things going on in the world. We have some wonderful groups in our area to "Think Globally, Act Locally" in the cause of this situation. Man can create, but man can destroy in a second. Let's get together and be informed- take some action. The future of man and the creatures of the earth depend upon the now.

People come to Woodstock because there’s a special vibration here. You can feel it as you walk down the street, coming from the streams and waterfalls that lace through the business district, from the sacred mountains that surround the town, from the woods that give the town its name, and….from the shop clerks.

Though the famous Festival didn’t really happen here, Woodstock is home to its legend, and to a large number of people who are quietly dedicated, through both traditional and unique spiritual paths, to making Peace & Love a reality on this planet. Some of them work in the shops.

Reverend Ursula Carrie, founder of Church of the Sacred Earth, is one of them. Single mom of Chimayo, a very active 8-year-old who looks like a dark-haired version of St. Exupery’s Little Prince (Ursula herself bears a striking resemblance to the beautiful artist Frido Kahlo), she can be found on weekends behind the counter of the Kleinert/James Art Center gift shop, a job she’s held for 11 years, and which she loves. “When you work in a shop,” she says, “people from all different walks of life know you, but most people don’t really know that much about you.”

“What would you like people to know?” I ask her.

“The most important thing to me is the Earth—animals, plants, water, birds, every single part of everything that’s been born from the Earth is the most important thing to me in my life since I was a child,” she responds. Trained as an herbalist by Susun Weed, and as a Keeper of the Ancient Ways by many teachers, both native and western, she began the Church of the Sacred Earth project “to bring together awakened humans of all faiths for one common cause: to use our meditations and our prayers, and the light and love and power we all have, in service to the planet that is giving us life.

“I first felt the prompting to start the Church in 2000, and did everything I could to get away from it,” she confesses. Or rather, as she writes in her blog, the concept of the Church of the Sacred Earth grew inside her for nine years.

Last year, on scholarship to Dr. Jean Houston’s Mystery School, Ursula realized: “We all have an obligation to fulfill the highest destiny of our life. I always knew that this project was a major part of my Earth walk and I was hurting myself by avoiding it. But I was feeling frustrated, because I really wanted to bring together people to participate, and I found gathering people in person, live, to be an incredibly difficult task for me at this point.”

Then she realized, as she writes in her blog: “Church of the Sacred Earth is not the kind of church that is housed in a place, a specific locale. Church of the Sacred Earth is in many locales—because, among other things, Church of the Sacred Earth is a Movement. It moves with the Energies, across the Land, across the Universes….wherever two or more people gather—in silence or in whatever manner—to listen to the Earth speak and to send their individual & collected vibrations of love to the Earth. It cannot be ‘incorporated,’ or assigned a tax ID number. It cannot be Contained.”

And so, with the encouragement of Jean Houston and her colleagues, Ursula brought Church of the Sacred Earth into the world as a blogspot (www.sacredearthchurch.blogspot.com) and Facebook group, with posts that provide inspiration and information for living on the Earth in a sacred way. For example: “It is simple enough to sit quietly in the morning, or any time of day, with the Earth,” she writes, “…breathe into your heart and allow your Heart Center to Open in Empathy to Life. Send your Love and Tenderness to the birds, the foxes, the wolves, the skunks.... Love is the Only Pure Force of the Universe. All Plants and Creatures will feel the balm and strength of the Love you send and share with them.”

With donations from the Mystery School, Ursula printed 2500 postcards to send to spiritual leaders and prime locations around the world, extending the Church in “a visual invitation that people can actually see and touch,” a space where people can become aware of the sacred and connect as a community. “People can participate in any way comfortable to them; no need to renounce the path they’re comfortable with,” Ursula says, noting that different faiths are now finding evidence in their scriptures that wise stewardship of the environment is part of their religious practice.

Her own ‘worship’ is both spiritual and practical. “In between mothering, home schooling and basic life things like cleaning house, I use every moment of silence I have to sit and meditate.” As an herbalist, rather than sell the remedies she makes, she prefers to show people how to make them for themselves: “It’s more empowering to an individual and another way of deeply connecting to the Earth when you’re out there harvesting plants and making your own preparations.”

As a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) coordinator, she’ll be holding down the fort again at the weekly distribution of organically grown food that CSA members receive. “Supporting the work of local farmers is of vital importance to the health of our local community and food supply,” Ursula says. “When I go there on Wednesdays”—this year distribution starts June 2nd—“to me it’s another form of going to temple or church, a prayer in and of itself to be with this beautiful food and the wonderful members of our community who show up to pick up their vegetables.

“Like a lot of people right now,” she says in conclusion, “I’m at a time of suspension, just waiting, and meantime gathering up my higher will to do this work. This Church is mine only insofar as this is my planet and I want to live here. I just keep on truckin’. Don’t feel powerless by the largeness of what’s going on here. Every bit of love you can show to the Earth is going to be felt by her, and that’s a really good start.”

In this spirit, Rev. Ursula Carrie invites you to become aware of the spring meeting of Church of the Sacred Earth, which takes place between May 1and June 21st:"See and feel the soil beneath your feetas Vibrant and Pulsating with RadianceTake Off Your ShoesHUM"

Where is it happening? Wherever you are!!!
